Free to Lie

Karl Rove and Harriet Miers may testify about the DOJ firings. However, the White House has not given permission for that testimony to be under oath. If there is nothing improper related to the firings and you have nothing to hide, why wouldn't you allow testimony under oath? This screams "we have something to hide." You might as well just say "we really screwed up." Gonzales may not have been the source of the firings, but this whole situation exemplifies the problems with the AG and the administration in general. If Bush wants to save any part of this failure he calls a presidency, he can start right now by dumping Gonzales in favor of a less activist AG and revealing what is so "frivolous" that he has to keep top aides from testifying under oath.
